DIY - Holiday Decor: Wreath

This year when I was thinking about how I wanted to decorate the homestead for the holidays I knew I wanted festive and fun but different than last years. However I wanted to make sure there was a personal touch to it and something all my own. So this little lady got crafty!!! And it was a blast (well there were parts when I wished I employed a small army to help but we'll get to that!)!

So I started at the front of the house, the front door decor! I spotted this DIY on Design Sponge over a year ago, and have been waiting for the holidays to make her! She was really easy, no major skills needed. Just lots of patience cutting out 17,937 small white circles (Ok a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much...when you think you have enough, you don't!) and an equal amount of patience folding and sticking them in. But honestly it is totally worth it! It is soft and fluffy and has this weird warm and cozy quality! But now I am going to figure out ways to keep it up year round - bc it is not screaming Christmas! I hung with the red sparkly ribbon to make it more Holidays...and will take that off to keep it up for the remainder of the wintertime! 

It was a perfect, fun project for the long holiday weekend! Oh wait Thanksgiving was almost 2.5 weeks ago....oh yeah this girl had to go and buy a bigger wreath than they called for because come-on now go big or go home, right?! Well this girl also didn't calculate the felt difference that would have been needed from a 10 to a 12 inch wreath...cuz there definitely was some! The delay was for me to get my rear to the craft store to get more felt, then to draw and cut out a bunch more little circles.....But honestly not all that bad! I am thinking a multicolor of pastels for spring would be stunning, or yellow or pink hung in a babies room! Love. Ok, here are some in process shots. Seriously ladies easy go try! You will love it!!!

 The Goods. I used my 2.5 in biscuit cutter as my guide, it was the perfect size! 

 I decided to wrap my wreath base because it wasn't white, 

and in case it showed through I wanted you not to be able to tell!!!

 Rinse lather and repeat, over and over and over again. 

Fold, Step 1. 

 Fold, step 2.  

Then pin away til you can't pin no more. You will thank me when you are done!
